Time for a change

When I grew my hair out after college, I vowed never to cut it again. Oh sure, I'd get an inch cut every so often. But if I cut an inch I let it grow two more before I got it cut again. Every inch cut off felt like 6. I turned in to one of "them". You know, the girls who cry in the salon when it's cut too short...and it's to their butt! I started having visions that I would be one of those old ladies walking down the street and their hair is so long you want to pull out your scissors and cut it yourself.

Plus...I just wanted a cute new haircut.

I walked in, told my stylist what I wanted, and he went to work. He immediately put my hair into a ponytail and cut the ponytail right off! Kind of like pulling off a band-aid...the faster the better. I didn't even have time to change my mind.

Here's the new me:


What do you think?

Very cute Chris! Although I swear you could shave your head and still look gorgeous!

I LOVE IT! It's still long enough to do things with. Is all of that curl natural? It looks so good. Congrats! :) The image of you as an old lady with hair to the ground cracks me up.

That is a hard thing to do...I've been there! I think you did good. It's a super cute cut and you look great!

Wow! I love it. I have also been thinking of making "the change". It's very hard after coveting long hair for years. I love your length, and LOOOVE the curls! This is how I remember you when we first met you at Scott's party. Seems a lifetime ago!
